In case of assault

If you are sexually assaulted, you are encouraged to seek out services from Ryon Medical and Associates in La Junta, CO. Ryon Medical has trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) on available to provide specialized services to sexual assault victims.

After an incident of sexual assault and domestic violence, the victim should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible. In Colorado, evidence may be collected even if you choose not to make a report to law enforcement. It is important that a victim of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing or clean the bed/linen/area where they were assaulted, if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence (as may be necessary to the proof of criminal activity) may be preserved. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted disease.

Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of documents (if they have any) that would be useful to College hearing boards/investigators or police.

Retaliation is Prohibited

It is a violation of CCCS policy and LCC procedures to engage in retaliatory acts against any student or employee who reports an incident of sexual misconduct, or any employee or student who testifies, assists or participates in a proceeding, investigation or hearing relating to such allegation of sexual misconduct.
